See exactly where a photo was taken: the GPS tag is read on your device and pinned on the map.

Most cameras and every phone with location services on write the exact spot into the photo file itself. Drop the picture on this page and that spot appears as a pin on the map, with the coordinates written out, the place name looked up, and the date the camera recorded. The file is read on your own device - which matters here more than anywhere, because the answer is somebody's location.
The card gives the position twice: as decimal degrees, the form you paste into any map or spreadsheet, and as degrees-minutes-seconds, the form GPS devices and legal documents use. Both copy with a click. Underneath, the place name comes from a reverse lookup, and the rows show the camera, the date taken, the GPS timestamp the satellite fix carried, the altitude and the compass direction the lens was pointing when the shutter fired. Links open the same spot in OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.
Plenty of photos have no GPS at all, and the page says so instead of guessing. Social networks strip location on upload as a privacy measure, screenshots never had any, and many cameras only record it when paired with a phone. If a photo needs a location - for a listing, an insurance claim, a travel archive - the photo location tool writes one into the file, and the same tool removes location from photos that should not carry it.
JPG is the common case, but the GPS block is read the same way from PNG, WebP and TIFF, and because every camera RAW file is a TIFF underneath, DNG, CR2, NEF and ARW give up their coordinates here as well - even though a browser cannot display those pictures. For the complete metadata behind a photo, not just its position, the EXIF viewer lists every tag the file carries.
Load the photo here. If it carries a GPS tag, the map pins the exact spot and the card shows the coordinates, the place name and the date. Nothing is uploaded - the file is read in your browser.
Either the camera never recorded one, or it was stripped. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and most other platforms remove GPS data when you upload, so a photo saved from social media almost never has it.
No. Screenshots are generated by the device, not captured by a camera, so there is no GPS block to read. The same is true of most images exported by editors.
Yes. RAW files are TIFF containers, so DNG, CR2, NEF and ARW files are read directly, including their GPS tags, even when the picture itself cannot be displayed in a browser.
No. The file is parsed in your browser. Only the map tiles and the place-name lookup come from the network, and neither of them ever receives your photo.
